This is a rather interesting development in the Mercedes-Benz AMG performance scene. Truth is, World Motorsports is a newer name and one not seen on BenzBoost before. A Mercedes SLS AMG Twin Turbo kit certainly is quite a way to make an entrance. They already seem to have the turbos mounted but hardware is only one part of puzzle. What about the tuning? What about the impact of the torque on the SLS dual clutch transmission? These are just some of the problems posed.

World Motorsports is located in Torrance, California and Benzboost was invited out to see what they are up to. A very generous offer as most companies won't allow anyone to visit when they are preparing for a show (SEMA) and wrapping up very difficult work. Apparently they are going to try to make it to SEMA in Las Vegas which is less than three weeks away. Not a long window but it would be impressive if they were to make it.

Plumbing is said to be 80% complete at this point and the car should be hitting the dyno soon. BenzBoost will hopefully be able to provide more info shortly after stopping by the shop. For now, enjoy the development pictures below.

Unfortunately, instead of "calling me out" you just interjected negativity not realizing the state of events or making any relevant criticism It was instead an opportunity for you to attack baselessly as usual. Please let me know what BS is going on?

Baseless? Ha!

You don't seem to understand, there is nothing further that needs to be done. There is a time and place for a meet and we can go from there. You go chase whatever you want to go chase, my course of action is already selected and will proceed with or without your consent.

Ego.... "Without your consent" Did daddy not hug you enough or something?

You had no choice as I was quite correct. Yes, I was right. Whether you are nice or not doesn't change it.

I said you were going more as a Journalist than a consumer. That doesn't make you a Journalist. Keep congratulating yourself on being right all the time. I was right about a few things too around here.

What is with this lecture? Respecting other peoples opinions? Last I checked this site does that to a greater degree than any other. It respects peoples opinions too much at times which is a criticism I often get for leaving discussion far too open. So what are you talking about? Me disagreeing and defending myself is not me being disrespectful to your opinion.

One day you will figure it out.

Would you like a phone call during my bath so you can be sure I'm enjoying it? I can't be sure if that's what would make you happy or not.

funny....more and more members are saying you could have been more proactive with craig which all I have been saying from the get go.

'its not me, its everyone else'.

I'm not disagreeing I could expend more effort "chasing" as you seem to expect me to but I'm content simply going to the meet, introducing myself, and going from there. I do not feel a need to push or escalate anything as you seem to be implying. Craig took things negatively anyway and I think maybe some time for him to work on the project as well as for everyone to step away from this for a second may let cooler heads prevail.

Your approach may be more aggressive but I feel mine is more mature and the right course of action in this instance. I also may be privy to information you are not regarding it. Regardless, the conclusion is not that "it's not, blame everyone else" it is that I'm choosing a more benign approach instead of essentially barging in and demanding information.

I have pretty good parents. The point which you missed is that I think I'll make my own decisions which you have no bearing on, thanks.

I didn't say it did, I also said I was going more as a journalist than as a consumer which changes the approach. You agreed, I was correct, thanks.

Respecting someone's opinion is not blindly agreeing with them. The ability to disagree is a sign of respect for differing opinions in of itself.

Craig said to come anytime...how is that barging in and demanding information and perhaps I am wrong but that comment from Craig did not sound negative.

Privy to information? You were perhaps one of the last people to know who tuned the car and you were at SEMA...give me a break.

Anyways this has about run its course. Don't drop the hairdryer in the bath.

Coming in at any time I please once is disrespectful and obviously "anytime" doesn't make sense. You assume nothing else is going on except them waiting for my arrival? These dudes are busy. It doesn't matter as there is a date set, so why do you continue to harp on an irrelevant point that obviously I'm not going to follow? Decision has been made, it's over with.

So I can't learn anything since then that you might not know? I can't possibly have multiple sources? I can't possibly have heard things in person you haven't? Give me a break.

There wasn't anyone there for me to talk to, that was a fun "chase" but apparently not good enough. I just didn't comment on the tuning without knowing 100% and provided supplemental info to those who didn't. Kind of the right thing to do I would say.

MBW: 423 members and 3481 guests Keep patting yourself on the back. This is year 2. I heard the excuse last year on how you were just getting started. 1 year later 5K more users. How many lost? LOL

MBW is larger? Wow, is that your forum? Oh... you are using internet brands forum against me. Surprising a company with 99.8 million to play with and a 12 year head start on their forum is larger. I mean, what a surprise. I'm sure they owe their success to you. Although this forum does owe its success to me.

What are you talking bout 1 year later 5k more users? Your stats are off, that's because you have no stats to go on. We got over 1k last month alone Don't want to let reality mess with you or anything.

I mean, it's a modest list but hey how many sponsors, how many users, and how well is your forum doing? Not Internet Brands, your forum? Oh, not as well huh? That's ok, don't worry about it, I'm sure you could do better "if" you wanted to.

Uh oh, someone is losing their cool.

Just like how you could do better than me in the forum world but "that isn't your thing" right? Convenient, all these things you talk about but don't do as well as I do.

People just keep running away all day: There are currently 554 users online. 89 members and 465 guests

Anyway, your little insults are fun and all but I think you've injected enough of your venom. Time to tuck your tail between your legs again.

When I left last year you had 10K users. Now you have 15K. 10+5=15. This the part where you BS me again and tell me you get 18 million hits over the holidays? LOL

Funny how you always compare me to you as a basis for your success. I dont run a forum so there is no comparison. The fact that you run a forum and I dont doesnt make you successful in running a forum. Why do you act like your doing something that I would want to do?? LOL

Uh oh, someone is losing their cool.

Indeed. You are. Insults came from you first.

Because I am not doing them nor do I care to? A monkey can do your job and probably do it better to be honest. You regurgitate articles written by others and even borrow their pictures without their consent and rewrite what has already been written. Do yourself a favor and just link and give credit to your source rather than pretend you are some kind of journalist.

WOW! The meter might fall off. I bet I can find a forum about Vaginas that has more concurrent users on than here. LOL

I take it back Joe, when I said "Same old Joe" that wasnt a correct statement. You are even more of a douche than you were 1 year ago. LOL

But with this little spat I have been given insight as to why you are such the little douche. An only child. Its not your fault in the end though so I forgive you.

Damn straight, so stop trying to use others accomplishments as your own. As of right now, there is no comparison between you and I as I'm blowing you out of the water. Step up to the plate if you want to compete, until then, run along child and keep talking about what others are doing, not you.

Ya, no, not how I remember it or how its recorded. And not how it's going down either. You see, not your ballpark.

Those are just off the top of my head but all original written by myself and well received by the German Automotive world and linked to frequently, even on MBW Please, astound us all with your ability and compose a single article better than any of those. Please, write something automotive sites link to. My articles tend to be pretty popular. Sorry every article I post isn't unique but sometimes you have to write about new models coming out just like the other guys are as it's a big story. Sometimes you have to cover spyphotos. You'd know running a bigger site and all... oh wait, no you wouldn't.
